[PATCH] staging: mt7621-dma: Add braces around else branches

[Kimberly Brown]

Add braces around else branches in conditional statements that include
branches with multiple statements. This style complies with the Linux
kernel coding style and improves consistency and readability. Issues found by
checkpatch.

Hm, just one thing that I see right now. Can you please use
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl
to get the whole list of persons and mailinglists that you should your patch to.
Otherwise people might not be able to follow your patches or the relevant
persons will not notice.

Regards,
Matthias

Re: [PATCH v2] staging: mt7621-dma: Add braces around else branches

[Matthias Brugger]

Hi Kiberly,

Thanks for adding all the emails in CC.
I would encourage you for your next patch to distinguish between CC and TO.
You should send your patch TO important maintainers in the get_maintainers.pl
list (as default, to all of them). If there is someone you really want to look
into the patch, then add him/her in TO as well.

Put the rest (people and mailing lists) in CC. Why? Some people filter their
mails so that they can concentrate on the mails they got send directly and look
on mails they are in CC with lower priority (maybe not at all, because there are
too much?). So it is important to have the maintainers in the TO list and not in CC.

Keep up the good work :)
Matthias

I normally just add the first person from get_maintainer.pl to the To:.
It's basically random I think.  The rest I put in the CC.  This is a
staging patch so no one is very picky.

There isn't a Fixes tag for this but if there were I add the person who
wrote the original patch to the To header.  Hopefully, they review
and Ack my patch.  I feel like that's very important.

dan carpenter

I normally just add the first person from get_maintainer.pl to the To:.
It's basically random I think.  The rest I put in the CC.  This is a
staging patch so no one is very picky.

There isn't a Fixes tag for this but if there were I add the person who
wrote the original patch to the To header.  Hopefully, they review
and Ack my patch.  I feel like that's very important.

If it's an important point, perhaps it should be mentioned in
submitting-patches.rst?  There is a mention of the Cc tag, but no
indication of who to put in CC.

submitting-patches.rst talks about the Cc tag in the commit, not the To
or Cc in the email client.

In any case, there's a lot of personal issues here: most kernel
developers don't care whether they're in the To or Cc header of an
email, but there are some who do use it as Matthias says - which is
actually the long-standing definition of these headers.
